Less is more Challenge #79 - Cameo Ribbon Weaving

Hello Friends,

This is my second post of the day.........I got spurred on by this weeks Less is More Challenge to finish something I'd been trying out on my Cameo Silhouette - Ribbon Weaving. The theme this week is "Blue and Green". I, in fact, love this colour combination and have never understood the saying where it is said they shouldn't be seen!

We have a new HobbyCraft store just opened in Oxford and when browsing around this weekend I spotted some ribbon weaving kits which got me thinking about trying to make some ribbon weaving patterns on my Silhouette Studio software.

This is a card I made using one of the patterns I've been working on......

I do like a challenge and believe me it was! Getting a good size of semi circle cut out in order to thread the ribbon and get it to cut at a great angle to be able to sew a neat cross was tricky but now I've saved the file it could be used over and over.

Private Tuition - One to one:

I have been a crafting teacher for about 17 years. I have been teaching the Silhouette software (Silhouette Cameo/Silhouette Portrait) for the last 5 years, on a one-to-one basis and also teach/run workshops on Parchment craft, using the Clarity Groovi system and general card making classes. If you are interested in being looked after for the day while you learn how to make your crafting projects look great, then email me. I'm looking forward to sharing my knowledge with you soon.
